Answer:

The Olympian completed the 100-meter dash 4.75 seconds faster than the gym teacher. You could also say he was 3.25 meters per second faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 4.75 I just subtracted and found the difference between both of their times.

To find the difference between their speeds, I divided 100 by each time to get each person's distance per second. The olympian's speed was 10.05 meters per second and the gym teacher's speed was 6.80 meters per second. To find the difference between these, I subtracted the same way I did with the time difference.

A farmer owns about 960 acres of land. If his farm is square, what would be the length of each side in miles, to the nearest ten
OLEGan [10]

It is given in the question that

A farmer owns about 960 acres of land. If his farm is square.

First we convert acres to miles square, and the conversion expression is

1 acre=0.0015625 mi^2

Therefore,

960acres=960*0.0015625=1.5 mi^2

Let the side length of the square be x miles .

And the formula of area of square is

Area=side^2
\\
1.5=side^2
\\
side= \sqrt{1.5}=1.2 miles

A cube has a side length of x inches. What expression represents the total volume, in cubic inches, of the cube?
Pie

Answer:

Volume = x^3 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is the 3D version of a square. Since one side length is x inches, all the other side lengths are same, x inches each.

We know,

Volume = area of base * height

THe base is a square and the area is side * side. We know each side is x, so we have:

Area of Square = Area of Base = x * x = x^2

Now, we know height is also same side length, x, thus the volume becomes:

Volume = area of base * height

Volume = x^2*x

We add the exponents when we have same base multiplied, so the expression for volume becomes:

Volume = x^2*x=x^3
